    All the News That’s Fit: Marigold plant protein, pizza protection and cotton ball diet catastrophe (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    With the demand for plant-based proteins growing, researchers say the next big source may be growing in a pot in your house or backyard: marigolds. Marigold flowers contain about as much protein as conventional plant protein sources like quinoa, but marigold protein also has several key traits that may make it particularly well-suited to the plant protein market. Marigold protein extracts stay stable at higher temperatures than other plant proteins like chickpea and pea, which may make it better

    All the News That’s Fit: Child-free choices, nose hair tales and the real scoop on cellulite (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The number of Americans who are pursuing their lives child-free is growing. The reasons include greater reproductive autonomy, higher costs of living and shifting social norms. More people are prioritizing values like personal freedom, career goals and mental health over having kids — God bless ’em. But these child-free folks are not evenly distributed across the country. New data shows, for example, that one in five adults in California and Michigan are child-free, but only one in 10 are child-

Kennedy Jr., who claimed infant circumcision doubles the rate of autism, speculating without proof that the use of post-procedure acetaminophen as a painkiller was part of the reason.

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Rocketing into the heavens comes with a lot of glory and positive returns, but there is one well-known problem for astronauts in space: constipation. It’s not something you’ll find on a NASA brochure. Researchers wanted to know why and examined blood samples from 52 astronauts who had participated in months-long missions to the International Space Station. “We see changes in astronauts’ blood samples that indicate that the gut bacteria begin to ferment protein to a greater extent than usual with

    All the News That’s Fit: Dollar store foods, hair-raising syndrome and pesticides on produce (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Dollar stores aren’t classified as traditional grocery stores and so aren’t usually included in studies comparing access to healthy foods with customers’ health. But they do sell food, mostly stuff with long shelf lives. Researchers at University of California Riverside looked at the distribution of dollar stores (there are more than 34,000 nationwide with surrounding health indexes).
